PDF Export
Turn a record or report into a clean file people can save and send.
What it adds
Server-rendered PDFs of the app's important records and reports, generated in the background and delivered when ready.
What your agent is told to do
6
What your agent is told to do
6-
1
Build one document template per exportable record type, with a defined page size, margins, header, and footer.
-
2
Pin the fonts into the project and embed them. A font that exists on your laptop and not on the server produces a different document, and you will not notice until a customer does.
-
3
Paginate deliberately: repeat table headers on every page, keep headings with the content that follows, and define what happens when a single row is taller than a page.
-
4
Fetch private images and logos through short-lived authorized access at render time. Do not make an asset public just so the renderer can reach it.
-
5
Generate anything large asynchronously and key the job so a second identical request joins the existing job instead of starting another.
-
6
Do NOT rebuild raw tabular data extraction here — column selection, filter application, and export permissions are owned by CSV Export; extend that rather than building a second exporter. Generic queue progress and download-when-ready UI is owned by Background Job Progress.
Edge cases it handles
7
Edge cases it handles
7- A table that spills across pages must repeat its header row, and no row may be cut in half at the page break.
- Missing glyphs must be caught in a test, not shipped as boxes in a customer invoice.
- An image that fails to load must render a placeholder and finish the document — one dead URL must not fail the whole export.
- Long unbroken strings (URLs, tokens, IDs) will overflow the page box unless you explicitly allow them to wrap.
- The generated file must respect the requester's permissions at render time, not at request time — a job that runs ten minutes later must re-check access.
- Right-to-left text, non-Latin scripts, and currency symbols need a font that actually contains them.
- A finished PDF stored for download needs an expiry; permanent artefacts of private data accumulate forever.
Definition of done
8
Definition of done
8- Fonts are embedded and output is byte-consistent across local, staging, and production.
- Multi-page tables repeat headers and never clip content at a page boundary.
- Private images render without being made publicly accessible.
- Two identical export requests produce one job, not two.
- Permissions are re-checked when the job runs, not only when it is queued.
- The entry defers tabular extraction to CSV Export and progress UI to Background Job Progress.
- The feature matches the existing design system.
- No existing functionality is broken.

Location Map Block
Location Map Block
Put an interactive map on a page showing one location or a whole list of them.
What it does
A reusable map block rendering one or many pinned locations, with a static fallback and a text address alternative.
How it works
- 1 The app already has Mapbox Geocoding and Google Places Address Lookup. Turn addresses into coordinates through the existing integration and store the result on the record; do not add a second geocoding path for this block.
- 2 Make the block take either a single location or a collection, and render the same component for both. A one-pin map is a collection of one, not a separate feature.
- 3 Reserve the block's height before the map initialises so the surrounding page does not jump when tiles arrive. The placeholder should occupy exactly the space the map will fill.

Weather Widget
Weather Widget
Show current conditions and a short forecast for a place your users care about.
What it does
A compact widget showing current conditions and a few days of forecast for a chosen location.
How it works
- 1 Add this as a tile in the app's existing Customizable Dashboard Widgets rather than as a fixed element bolted into a layout, so users who do not want it can remove it.
- 2 Fetch the forecast on the server on a schedule and serve the widget from the app's own cache. Calling the weather source from every visitor's browser leaks the credential and multiplies the request count by your traffic.
- 3 Show the observation time alongside the reading, and reuse the app's Stale Data Indicator conventions so ageing weather looks the same as any other ageing data in the product.

Record Merge
Record Merge
Combine two duplicate records into one without losing anything attached.
What it does
A merge flow that picks a surviving value per field, reparents all related data, redirects old references, and can be audited afterwards.
How it works
- 1 Show the two records side by side, field by field, and require an explicit survivor for every field where they differ. Do not default to 'newest wins' silently; the user is merging because they know which one is right.
- 2 Reparent every related object — children, comments, attachments, activity, links, memberships — onto the survivor in a single transaction. A half-finished merge is worse than two duplicates.
- 3 Detect relationships that would become duplicates after reparenting (the same person as a member of both records, the same tag applied twice) and collapse them rather than violating a uniqueness constraint mid-merge.

It inspects, then implements
Your agent reads your existing app first, then adds the feature to fit it.
Works with your stack
These instructions are written to adapt. They tell the agent to detect your framework, match your existing design system, and reuse what you already have — rather than assuming a particular stack.
Need it tighter than that? Customize the feature and tell it exactly what you're running.
